I WANT TO BE LIKE JESUS,
I want to do the things He does
I want to look like Jesus,
Show the world there’s a God above who loves us
There’s a God above who loves us
Everything I say and do, everything I am
Living now to worship You with everything I can
You’re the only hope we have
You’re the greatest joy we know
My life, your love to show
Lord I want to think and speak, be and do
Everything and only that which pleases you
So come take control, suggest this day
All I design, do, or say
Paul Oakley & Aaron Keyes
